When Qu Yunchu came out of Hongshun Casino, it was already late, and a wave of sleepiness hit her, and she was so tired that she yawned.

Ji Zhen and Ke Yan were ordered to come back and stay by the carriage, but they looked more energetic than the other.

Seeing his own young lady come out, he stepped forward with a smile and asked:

"Miss, Miss, what's the matter, have you come back tonight?"

Seeing that both of them were smiling all over their faces, I felt even happier than the one who had won the silver upstairs.

She didn't rush to answer the little girl's words, and asked back: "What kind of happy event did you two encounter, full of glory, Ji Zhen, didn't you go to find the evil Taoist, you did it so quickly?" ”

The two of them laughed but did not speak.

I just feel that tonight's affairs at Feng Yage are very happy.

The second master said a few words, not only swept away the moths in the Lu Mansion, but even the young lady's gambling money was brushed aside, so that people did not dare to pursue it.

Qu Yunchu felt that these two people were really strange today, and since they refused to say it, he had to pour some cold water on them to ruin the fun.

"Hey, today is really not a good day, I met a strong opponent, the noble man upstairs is really a powerful person, and the kung fu of a few teas actually won me 50,000 taels of silver."

Hearing this number, Ke Yan almost fainted in fright, and Ji Zhen pursed his lips with some hatred.

Ke Yan staggered over to help her, and exclaimed, "Little ...... Miss, it's only been less than two hours, how did you lose so much silver? ”

Hesitating, he grabbed her sleeve tightly, and hurriedly proposed, "Why don't we go back tonight, go back to my parents' house to hide first?" ”

Ji Zhen didn't think so, the second master couldn't live without the young lady, how could he care about this bit of money.

Besides, the second master himself begged the young lady to gamble money.

He doesn't look forward to the young lady's return to her parents' house now.

"Young lady, let's go home quickly."

Ji Zhen hurriedly said.

The anxious eyes seemed to say, if you don't go back, the second master should be in a hurry.

Qu Yunchu now guessed the intention of the crazy criticism, and he was not worried about clashing with him because of the loss of the silver, so he yawned and happily got into the carriage.

Ke Yan sat next to her, but her heart was very uneasy.

"Miss, won't my uncle be angry if we go back like this?"

Uncle Fang was in the courtyard just now, and what the uncle could say was a little money, and the young lady's loss today was really a bit scary.

Qu Yunchu smiled faintly, ignored Ke Yan, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked up in the direction of the second floor of the casino.

I saw a pair of eyes staring quietly at the carriage by the dim willow-leaf window.

That bloated figure is undoubtedly Liu Quan.

When he was gambling with him, he heard the little eunuchs beside him mention that this person was the new favorite recommended to the emperor by the most holy lady in the palace, and I heard that his status in the palace was second only to Zhang Jinnian, the eunuch of Bingbi.

Liu Quan was sent to Yanyang City at this time, mostly related to Lu Wenqian and Lu Yanchao's uncle and nephew.

And Lu Wenqian has been acting more and more cautiously recently, but Lu Yanchao has not restrained, which shows that this person's spearhead is only against Lu Wenqian.

"It seems that Second Master Lu's life is not easy."

Thinking of this, she closed the curtain again and shouted outside, "Go home." ”

When she arrived at Delu Mansion, the entire mansion was unusually quiet, which was completely different from what she expected.

It stands to reason that some of the things he did today should have someone come out to look for bad luck, but he didn't meet anyone in front of the gate of Defeng Pavilion.

She glanced at Keyan in confusion, and the little girl just covered her mouth and snickered.

Qu Yunchu instantly thought of the cold face in the courtyard.

Yes, the crazy critic didn't mean to harm himself, since he let himself go to the casino, he would naturally clear the obstacles for himself.

Thinking of this, she entered the courtyard with a big grin.

The lights in the courtyard were still on, and as soon as Qu Yunchu entered the house, he saw Lu Wenqian drinking slowly with a bowl of soup.

I wanted to go directly to the inner courtyard to rest tacitly, but Lu Wenqian pointed to the still steaming dishes on the table and signaled: "Drink a bowl of soup to warm up." ”

At this moment, a young man in an apron walked in with a plate of fragrant dishes.

"My best dish, the secret sauce beef, is here."

The young man put the dishes on the table with a happy face, and when he raised his eyes, he noticed that there was a woman beside him.

"Second sister-in-law."

He called out in a slightly surprised voice.

Qu Yunchu glanced at the young man carefully, and saw that his pupils were clear and bright, and his eyes were as bright as a galaxy, and he immediately remembered that this person was Lu Wenjing from the long house.

"The fourth is back."

Qu Yunchu smiled politely at him.

But seeing the dish he put on the table, his eyes were not so calm.

"Ke Yan, go get my acupuncture bag."

She gave Lu Wenqian a threatening warning look in her eyes, and hurriedly instructed Ke Yan who came in.

Hearing the name of the acupuncture bag, the chopsticks that Lu Wenqian had just stretched out shook suddenly, and after a pause, he shrank back silently, pretending to put a piece of black chicken in the soup pot into the bowl.

"Fourth, you have been tired all the way, you can eat more sauce beef to make up for your body."

With a casual command, he lowered his head and continued to drink the soup in the bowl by himself.

When Qu Yun first saw this, he took Ke Yan into the inner courtyard.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyelids, but she didn't have the heart to drink soup, she just wanted to sleep for three days and three nights.

Lu Wenjing looked a little puzzled, slowly sat down, and said while holding chopsticks:

"Second brother, this is the freshly slaughtered beef cattle I brought back for you from Shucheng, don't you really want to try it?"

Lu Wenqian pushed the whole plate to him, and joked with a smile: "Eat, go back early after eating, don't let your younger siblings wait for a long time." ”

After a long absence, Lu Wenjing did miss his wife who had just passed the door for a long time.

But thinking that the second brother has to watch out for people even when he eats recently, he feels very sad, and he has to cook a meal for him himself.

Caught a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, he chewed it slowly and was about to drink a mouthful of soup, after looking at Ji Zhen beside him, he suddenly asked, "How much silver did the second sister-in-law lose today?" ”

"Look at your mouth, you can't expect her to be better."

Lu Wenqian knew that she would not contradict herself, but she pretended not to know and said: "I have shaped a golden body for her for the ancestor of Xuandu Temple, and if the ancestor of Lanhua has a conscience, he should also protect your second sister-in-law." ”

As he spoke, he also raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Zhen: "I see that Mrs. is in a very good mood, and she has won a lot of silver when she thinks she has made a lot of money." ”

Ji Zhen gritted his teeth and shook his head, and at the same time gestured five fingers in fear.

Lu Wenjing saw that the signs were wrong, and guessed that the second sister-in-law had lost the silver, but looked at Ji Zhen's gesture and waved her hand disapprovingly.

"What a big deal, it's just five hundred taels of silver, it's not worth mentioning to our Lu family."

"It's fifty thousand taels."

Ji Zhen replied stubbornly.

Hearing this number, Lu Wenqian just drank a mouthful of soup in his mouth and squirted out directly.

"Fifty thousand taels?"

Lu Wenjing exclaimed in amazement.

Then he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Second sister-in-law, who is gambling with whom, is there anyone in Danzhou City who dares to cheat her of so much silver?" ”

Ji Zhen replied: "The new weaving department weaves Liu Quan. ”

Hearing this person's name, the faces of the two of them darkened at the same time.
